Based on their methodolgy, I'm suprised Acura isn't lower.

They evaluate:

• Exterior
• Driving Experience
• Features/Controls/Displays (FCD)
• Driving Assistance
• Infotainment
• Seats
• Climate
• Interior
• Powertrain

The absolute dogshit infotainment system used in the RDX and TLX should be cratering Acura's scores. The intercooler limp-mode issues with the 2.0T certainly don't help either. Then there's the build quality issues: pano roof popping, rear tailgate window shattering, tailgate creaking, poor panel gaps, etc.

 

The fact that BMW, and Mini, which is BMW, is ranked higher.... that tells you all you need to know about how full of shit this is.

 

I stopped by and checked out the new Accord today when I was driving past a Honda dealership, and I saw two different cars with shockingly bad fit and finish issues, so bad that I can't believe they made it out of final inspection in the Marysville OH plant. Honda needs to wake up and fix this stuff. My 2003 Accord had absolutely flawless fit and finish.

 

Well, I doubt the 1st Gen TLX V6 rod bearing failures are helping any. Had my engine replaced twice under warranty. Not to mention the ZF9 transmission issues.
